Dementia Friendly Congleton group meeting took place recently, download the full meeting minutes HERE.
Highlights include:
Dementia Friends – Business Development.
From the last meeting:-
Chris has a programme of businesses to approach/contact as both follow up to DF sessions and totally new contacts. MS has shared a document with the group indicating which businesses are planned.
Physical Environment Check / Window Sticker award. Need a written down criteria, although the feeling around the group was that a DF session for their staff and some ongoing activity / one improvement could be enough to indicate a commitment to the cause and warrant a sticker. It was felt that we need to get this off the ground to encourage more to come on board. Chris to work with Wild and Wild to this effect.
Chris and Diane to work on getting some presentation done to encourage uptake from other businesses. Need to get some PR behind this to make it really take off. Chris was not at this meeting.
